This is GMO. You could add cactus genes so that it needs little care. And animal genes so that it can walk and look for its water itself. And human genes so that it can yield at you when it needs attention. Oh, wait, even better : it could send a tweet. (I am joking, of course)
I wonder what countries could afford such thing for their rescue team? If you do not have money to build a decent building, do you have money to spare for that kind of gadget?
Energy will come from sun, so the idea is basically to store it as ATP and/or glucose, and release it as light using luciferase. Is it efficient? More efficient than solar cell/battery/LED? At least it has a point: this energy storage system will need no rare element, and it will be disposable without generating any solution.

You will have to explain that one. As I understand, faith is belief into something that cannot be proved (either true or false: it does not means it is wrong). Rational thinking is about proving things. Are you saying you can prove the existence of God?
I must ask you, however, why does the Universe supposedly needing a creator lead to an infinte regress such as you're describing in the next sentence?
Well, I do not have an opinion on universe creation, and it does not matter to me. That experience cannot be reproduced, and knowing what happened does not seems to have any practical implication. I would be happy to be proved wrong on that, though.
It works by looking at HF signal on power lines. I though FCC regulations prevented devices from sending HF signals on power lines, but obviously it tolerates some remains.
I wonder how it can be used to extract informations from the computer: what is displayed, what key are pressed, what data is computed?
There is a big difference between commercial and open source when it comes to life status : you can always throw time or money to resurrect an inactive open source project. Open source software never dies, it just goes idle, and is always available for whoever wants to adopt it
Prescribing religion is is a nonsense: faith is not a rational thing people adopt at will. People just have it, or they do not.
As a side note, I am agnostic, with a bias toward atheism, since God looks to me like a very complicated explanation of how the world is. It does not even explain how the universe was born : created by God, but who created God itself? But as I am getting older, I now realize that life is easier to deal with for people that have faith. I recognize faith is a strength, even it makes no sense to me.
I understand GWe is electrical GWh. If so, 58 GWh seems low: as a comparison, France produce more than 400 TWh from nuclear power plants. Is there an error here?
Another way of saying this, I think, is that an intelligent creature will seek to maximise the amount of power it has over its environment
It is worth noting that this seems to be exactly what Spinoza calls conatus. In Spinoza thinking, conatus, and not reason, is driving human being behavior
I am not familiar with Android. How in-app adveitising works? Does each app deal with its own mecanism? Or is there a pool of third party company ready to give away software bits for that? Or is there a system-wide API provided by Google?

France has Moneo. Is this the same kind of beast?
The blue team win. I am surprised that network can be secured against determined state-sponsored attacker. I suspect red team did not try very hard.
Is the compound persistent? If it is, then it may still harm bees even after two years of ban, leading to the conclusion that it was innocent.

I meant pollution, no solution.

If you declutter religion, reaching behind dogma to the god experiences people had, then you can easily find 'god' in your own life.
I think you confuse cause and consequence. One finds God because one has faith, not the other way around.
I recognize the unity and harmony of mankind and universe you describe, but I fail to see God here.
If science 'proved' that having spirituality in your life increased your quality of life, would it not be irrational to not adopt it?
My opinion is that science already proved spirituality increase one's life, but how could that convince me of God existence?

Just the title suggests there is another high-tech bubble inflating around smartphones apps...

Governments should fix the loopholes that allows Apple to pay too little taxes. Obviously this company has more money than ideas of how to spend it.

TFA does not say what OS this is running. Anyone knows?
While I am always happy to see obvious patent ruled as invalid, I wonder if it is the job of an administrative commission to do that job.

I hit the mod menu by mistake. Here is a comment to cancel the underrated mod, which you do not deserve.
Lack of legalese is considered harmful, particularly in our litigious society.
Perhaps using no license is an act of resistance to litigious society?
Next step is obvious: we will need action movies that are able to punch the spectator in the face.
The most disturbing thing is that government keep trying austerity when we see the results, whether it is in Europe, Latin America, Africa...
